Biography

Peggy Gorrie is one of two Senior CSLC Coordinators who supports student learning outcomes by refining lab and simulation design requirements in collaboration with faculty.  She is involved in the Faculty's Rural Initiative program and works closely with current and upcoming rural partners to ensure that their lab and simulation experiences are on par with the experiences of the university's Nursing students in Calgary.  She is also involved, along with faculty and management, in preparing for the new curriculum now being rolled out.
